ART RESIDENCIES

Residencies at Gate 44 are the expression of its appreciation for cultural and artistic diversity
along with its sense of belonging to a global artistic community.

Spend time in Milan,

make a new body of work, learn, experiment, exhibit.

We offer production-based residencies to visual artists, designers & creatives from all backgrounds and levels of expertise. Our professional studios are equipped for large-scale etching, screen printing, relief printing, lithography, bookmaking, and metalworking. Our goal is to accompany artists in the discovery process of new languages and technical solutions to add to their expressive toolkit. Artists have the option to be assisted by experts across various disciplines to produce mixed-media, complex projects. Self-led residencies are available pending studio availability.

We provide accommodation in a private apartment and 24 hour access to the studio. Artists can also request to be assisted by one of our print or metal masters and book the exhibition space for an end of residency presentation.

Gate 44 is located at Via privata Treviso 21, in a multicultural, young and fast growing artistic district of Milan, adjacent to a public park and the Martesana canal, and within walking distance from Nolo. Residencies are a great way to experience a new culture in a dynamic and diversified city such as Milan while producing a body of work. The city’s location also allows for day trips to historical towns such as Venice, Parma, Bologna, Verona, Ferrara, etc.
